Firstborns

Older Brother of Brothers

Firstborn males are treated like a king. You are adored and loved dearly by your parents, and are smothered with attention. Once the family grows and another boy comes along, you're already bigger, stronger and are able to walk and talk. Because of this, you tend to get your way by being dominating and bossy towards your younger brother. Without knowing it, you are perceived as a leader. You're so used to dominating those under you as a child, that you adopt this trait throughout your adult life.

As a result most firstborn brothers of brothers have a special magnetic aura that both women and men become greatly attracted to and makes them want to follow your lead. You also have a natural ability to lead and excel in business because they enjoy status and recognition.

Male Only Child

You are quite lucky as you derive both qualities of firstborns and lastborns. You're the most creative, driven, successful, friendly, and focused individuals on the planet. You are favored by everyone, as you were praised more and got lots of attention as a child. You tend to be a perfectionist. There's two sides to this. If you become a doctor, then you need to get things right, so obsessing over every detail is worthwhile. The bad side, is stress. Being worried and anxious all the time can ruin your day or give you trouble falling asleep. Meditating and taking things easier in your life will help overcome this perfectionism.

You take your career very seriously and devote all your time and energy compared to other men. Like other firstborns, you want to reach the top and be number one. You have great confidence that helps you succeed. You will need a romantic partner that will support your career choice and accept the long hours that you put into the job.

Female Only Child

Being an only child gives you greatest strength to get along with people of authority. You have characteristics of both lastborn and firstborn. You tend to have more conflict with your parents than children that have siblings. This is because brothers and sisters direct hostility toward each other, instead of there parents. The positive side to this is that you get along well with your friends, but sometimes have conflict with your parents.

You tend to be dependent on others, since your parents took care of you and let you be a child as long as you wanted, without letting you become your own person. This doesn't have to be a bad thing, as you can date men who respond well to your great need for protection.

Best Match

An older brother of sisters is your best match, as he can provide you with all the attention and romance that you desire.
